Lots - we need more info than this. Did you upgrade your ports when you
upgraded the system? If not, did you keep the a.out compatibility libs?
Is the working .xinitrc _your_ xinitrc or the system default?
Look in .xinitrc-errors in your directory (I think there's a file like
this - there is for using xdm which I use) and tell us what, if anything,
it says.
Post your .xinitrc as a reference for us.
